Each fullrange K.2 model features: onboard 2,000-watt powering and DMT (Directivity-Matched Transition) for smooth coverage. Built-in DSP offers Intrinsic Correction voicing, selectable presets and advanced system management. All three models can be used as for P.A. or floor monitoring and can be flown, wall/truss-mounted or placed on a speaker pole — either straight-firing or with a -7.5-degree down-tilt. K.2 Series availability begins in mid-May, with the KS212C cardioid sub slated for late summer 2017.
